7 weeks and 39 lbs down I can now:

-cross my legs

-get out of the lawn chair on my own

-tie my shoes

-go to the hairdresser (couldn't stand to look at myself in the mirror before)

-wear my daughters jeans

Congratulations! What a wonderful achievement. I can't wait until I am able to do the same. Especially the crossing the legs. It's such a womanly thing to be able to do, so I can't wait!

Jennrus, I notice that your Pre-Op weight and your goal weight are the same as mine. I'm 5'0 are u also in this height range?

If you have before and after pics, would u mind sharing them? I'm only asking because I'm very excited and eager to see what i'll look like when I'm small enough to actually cross my legs again.

:-) Congrats on your accomplishment. It's crazy that something so small, (for others) is a huge deal for us.

Working on pics. Will see if i can figure that out tonight.

Before @ 218 lbs and current 179.

Yay! Look at you go Jennrus! Congrats!

Aren't the small things the best? They keep me going. I can now cross my legs, not for too long, working on the muscles to get stronger. I can wear clothes I used to and I held onto either cause they were really nice and I wanted to be there one day or they are clothes I bought before surgery as goal clothes and they are fitting now!

Awesome Job! I too., can cross my legs, What a great feeling it is! You have lost so much more than me and I'm 8 weeks., keep inspiring me!

(: you look phenomenal.
